The Newark city council chambers were crowded on Thursday, March 13. Following the flag salute, roll call and approval of Minutes, the Newark Earthquakes soccer club took center stage. Mayor Dave Smith, celebrating three decades at that post, called members of the Under-11 Boys Association Cup Championship team to receive city accolades. The team, undefeated in league play, won the Division 3 Al Caffodio District 3 Cup and, for the first time in over ten years, placed first in the state.
